Steuben correspondent to the Ellsworth
American writes: Many will remember that
year ago last fall our town was thrown into
great excitement by the number of incendiarv
fires which occurred. A queer incident has
come to light connected with the destruction
of G. o. Faulkner's house which took place
in the latter part of September. loss. Mr.
Faulkner was absent in Massachusetts, when
his house was burned. Before leaving home
he had 800 in the form of FIVE double eagles
which he wished to put in some safe place.
Going into his cellar he bored a hole in one
of the beams, placed the gold coins within
and plugged up the hole. Whether the other
members of the family knew the location of
the safe or not is unknown. The house
burned and nothing was left but the usual
debris in the cellar Mr.. Faulker came home
and many wondered what he was hunting for
in the ashes so industriously. He knew,
however, and the secret of the bung hole he
kept until every coin, discolored somewhat
by the fire, but otherwise uniujured, was re-
covered. Here is a good chance to add a
moral about true gold going through the
smoke and cinders all right, but refrain.
